Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Covid: Large trial of new treatment begins in UK
Vaccines are designed to help reduce the risk of virus transmissions. They may also ease the symptoms even if a vaccinated person gets infected. However, they won’t cure the disease. In addition to vaccines, the world now desperately needs more effective ways to cure the infectious disease. One of the new cures for Covid-19 is being tested in the UK and other countries on a larger scale to find if it is as effective as in the earlier tests. The new cure is interferon beta, which is designed to warn the body’s defense line to expect a viral attack by triggering an anti-viral response. It also reduces the time for Covid-19 patients in hospital. If the new treatment proves effective in the test, it could be used to complement the vaccines.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about another frontline to fight the coronavirus pandemic.
